stepnix | Getting Into Exalted, For Some Reason (Reply)

The main thing I hear about Exalted is its maximalism. Your characters are the strongest and the coolest, there's mountains of lore, and there's rules for everything. I check the rulebook (3e) and it's almost seven hundred pages. That's a lot to read, but that's what I'm there for, right?

sorry there's how many expansion books?

They do have an alternative, Exalted Essence. It's basically a parallel edition that covers all the types of Exalted at once, but it sells itself on being simpler... will that still give me the maximalism I'm looking for? It should, yeah, there's still multiple pretty large books.

...the current Essence crowdfunding campaign has some really nice deals on 3e material

...3e won't be so bad if I limit myself to just one type of Exalted, right?

and that's why i'm currently on course to get into Most Of Essence and 3e, But Specifically Dragon-Blooded Exalted

surely only good can come from this
